Abstract:
Lymphagiomas are composed of multiple lymphatic channels lined by benign-appearing endothelial cells. The lisions can occur anywhere in body and extremely rarely affect the colon. But lymphangiomas of the colon have been reported more frequently since the development and widespread use of the colonofiberscope. In the past, most lympangioma have been removed surgically, But now that transendoscopic snare polyectomy is possible, diagnosis by total biopsy constitutes the treatment. In the present paper, we reported the case af colonic lymphangioma in 51-year old woman who underwent endoscopic resection.
